Over the years, the McCanns have faced a great deal of criticism over their parenting, and
perceived role in Madeleine’s disappearance. “A lot of it is misinformed, misguided and based
purely on assumptions or lack of knowledge," Mitchell says. Mostly, though, it is "prejudice.
People deciding that they don’t like the McCanns.”

But those two have never showed an ounce of emotion!

Seen people get more choked up about losing hamster than they have about that poor girl.

"The McCanns' restrained emotional response to the cameras in the immediate aftermath of Madeleine's
disappearance provoked questions: how could they be so contained after something so terrible had happened?

“One of the reasons they were so controlled was because they were told very early on that often,
in the case of paedophilic kidnaps, the perpetrators watch media coverage and enjoy seeing the distress
that they have caused," Mitchell explains."

When Kate grows up a bit and loses her looks (which to be fair are very good, especiaslly for someone her age and with the stress she goes through) will you still be 'team McCann'? Never seen you defending Gerry, and you seem to love randomly posting Kate photos

She looks more & more boney in the face with emotionless expression but if that's what's considered pretty then OK

Oh so they never let the kids (I say kids but babies is more accurate) alone in an unlocked apartment and went out drinking then?

if they had not gone to dinner it would have been next day in the supermarket, or on the beach, they never stood a chance if dedicated people wanted to steal a child.

If they had not gone to dinner and left the children alone, they would have not opened themselves up to the condemnation from good parents who would never leave their children unattended in a foreign country, at night, whilst they went out on the piss. If they had not gone to dinner, the other attempts could have been thwarted if the children were properly supervised as they should have been at that age.

judement by hindsight is just judgement with hindsight, all parents have left their child unattended enough for an abduction to take place. It can take 5 seconds to whip a child away. When i was wee all children were left outside shops in prams whilst their mums shopped inside.

Again LT whilst that may be true you have to put it in historical context, and claiming that it was usual or normal to leave children alone in an apartment and go out for dinner 12 years ago is simply flat out false.

Also as I said above; an "opportunity snatch" is a RISK for any predator at best, whilst sneaking a child away when you know they're going to be unattended for several hours is far less of a risk. They weren't checking on them or were checking infrequently at best, witness statements from several other people at the resort confirm that they weren't observed to be checking every 20 minutes, ONLY the Tapas people claim it was that often, and if you're right and she was stolen to order it's because (excuse the crass terminology) she was "low hanging fruit" and someone had been watching and knew that.

perhaps but the fault lies firmly with the abductor or you end up blaming women for being raped for wearing tits out tops and getting drunk at night, or taking cabs home after a club etc

what they did was perfectly safe and millions do it

Exactly. I watched a documentary one time where they actually interviewed thieves, as in house burglars. They always targeted the houses with the least security, no alarms, no dogs etc because guess what?? risk of being caught was significantly lowered

The mcCann's behaviour & actions from the beginning have been questionable and very bizarre.

I will never understand how parent's can leave their very young children alone in an apartment while on holiday in a foreign country as they go out for drinks with their friends .

If Madeline WAS kidnapped , the parent's were the ones that made it very easy to happen by abandoning their kids home alone . But i don't think we'll ever find out what really happened.

Sorry but that's so ridiculous, you shouldn't need hindsight to know you don't leave babies alone in an unlocked (or locked) apartment we'll you go out on the piss. Give me a break
